The Unsung Heroes Of Wildlife As I arrived at the east gate of the Nairobi National Park, I glanced at the wall, and there in bold print was a sign with a clear message from the past in the words of the 1 st President of Kenya – Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. The sign reads "THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF THIS COUNTRY – IT’S WILDLIFE WHICH OFFERS SUCH AN ATTRACTION, TO VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN WHICH THESE ANIMALS LIVE, THE MIGHTY FORESTS WHICH GUARD THE WATER CATCHMENT AREAS SO VITAL FOR THE SURVIVAL OF MAN AND BEAST – ARE A PRICELESS HERITAGE FOR THE FUTURE. THE GOVERNMENT OF KENYA FULLY REALISING THE VALUE OF ITS NATURAL RESOURCES PLEDGES ITSELF TO CONSERVE THEM FOR POSTERITY WITH ALL MEANS AT ITS DISPOSAL. MZEE JOMO KENYATTA – THE 1 st PRESIDENT ."
